  • “Paying not to work?” examining the validity of forest sector narratives on Covid-19 pandemic relief and labor impacts

    Open AccessManuja Jayasundara, Puneet Dwivedi et al.ARTICLETrees Forests and People2026

    The COVID-19 pandemic caused major disruptions in labor markets across the United States. This study examines forest-sector stakeholders’ narratives around pandemic assistance programs and their perceived labor impacts, drawing on 35 semi-structured interviews with mill representatives, loggers, landowners, and foresters in Georgia. We identified narratives around stimulus payments, expanded unemployment insurance, and the Paycheck Protection Pro…

    This volume offers scholars the first authoritative text of two works produced collaboratively by two of the most important modern British novelists. Long hard to obtain and frequently neglected by critics, each can now be appreciated both in its own right and as part of the two authors' individual oeuvres. This scholarly edition situates both works in the context of the writers' meeting and ongoing collaboration, providing illuminating literary …

  • Timber Security Practices, Vulnerabilities, and Challenges in the Southern United States

    Joseph L Conrad, Joseph Conrad et al.ARTICLESociety & Natural Resources2020Cited by: 1References: 6

    A single timber theft incident can cost family forest landowners thousands of dollars. Preventing illegal timber harvesting is also an important component of sustainability. A survey of consulting foresters and interviews with investigators, prosecutors, and forest industry were conducted to document timber theft detections, resolutions, and security measures. Complete questionnaires were received from 430 foresters from 11 southern states (37% r…

    By the time Joseph Conrad (1857–1924) produced this novel in 1907, terrorism had torn its way through London: Victoria station had been partially destroyed, the House of Commons damaged, and Scotland Yard attacked with dynamite. Conrad's story is set in 1886, at the height of these troubles, and was inspired by the 1894 attempt to bomb Greenwich Observatory. Written just after Nostromo (1904), it is a marked departure from Conrad's usual seafarin…

  • Male Mythological Beings Among the South Slavs

    Open AccessJoseph L Conrad, Joseph ConradARTICLEFOLKLORICA - Journal of the…2010

    The South Slavs have a long tradition of belief in protective domestic spirits and in malevolent demons of the field, forest and water.(1) Such mythological creatures were prevalent among all Slavic peoples and are part of the common Indo-European heritage.(2) Whereas most beliefs of this type receded among the East and West Slavs by the end of the nineteenth century, they were maintained in many areas of the Balkans until the beginning of the Se…

    Joseph Conrad, Jacques BerthoudBOOKLord Jim2009

    ‘To the white men in the waterside business and to the captain of ships he was just Jim - nothing more. He had, of course, another name, but he was anxious that it should not be pronounced.’ Lord Jim tells the story of a young, idealistic Englishman - ‘as unflinching as a hero in a book’ - who is disgraced by a single act of cowardice while serving as an officer on the Patna, a merchant-ship sailing from an Eastern port. His life is blighted: an …

    The Egeria of the “Russian Mazzini”* produced, at first view, a strong effect by the deathlike immobility of an obviously painted face. The eyes appeared extraordinarily brilliant. The figure, in a close-fitting dress, admirably made, but by no means fresh, had an...

    We remained looking at each other for a time. “Do you know who he is?” Miss Haldin, coming forward, put this question to me in English. I took her offered hand. “Everybody knows. He is a revolutionary feminist, a great writer, if you like, and—how...

    The words and events of that evening must have been graven as if with a steel tool on Mr. Razumov’s brain since he was able to write his relation with such fullness and precision a good many months afterwards. The record of the thoughts which...

    In his incertitude of the ground on which he stood Razumov felt perturbed. Turning his head quickly, he saw two men on the opposite side of the road. Seeing themselves noticed by Sophia Antonovna, they crossed over at once, and passed one after another...

    The water under the bridge ran violent and deep. Its slightly undulating rush seemed capable of scouring out a channel for itself through solid granite while you looked. But had it flowed through Razumov’s breast, it could not have washed away the accumulated bitterness...

    The origin of Mr. Razumov’s record is connected with an event characteristic of modern Russia in the actual fact: the assassination of a prominent statesman—and still more characteristic of the moral corruption of an oppressed society where the noblest aspirations of humanity, the desire...

    Razumov, thus left to himself, took the direction of the gate. But on this day of many conversations, he discovered that very probably he could not leave the grounds without having to hold another one. Stepping in view from beyond the lodge appeared the expected...

    Approaching this part of Mr. Razumov’s story, my mind, the decent mind of an old teacher of languages, feels more and more the difficulty of the task. The task is not in truth the writing in the narrative form a précis of...

    Several days elapsed before I met Nathalie Haldin again. I was crossing the place in front of the theatre when I made out her shapely figure in the very act of turning between the gate pillars of the unattractive public promenade of the Bastions....

    In the conduct of an invented story there are, no doubt, certain proprieties to be observed for the sake of clearness and effect. A man of imagination, however inexperienced in the art of narrative, has his instinct to guide him in the choice of...

    “ Perhaps life is just that,” reflected Razumov, pacing to and fro under the trees of the little island, all alone with the bronze statue of Rousseau. “A dream and a fear.” The dusk deepened. The pages written over and torn out of his...
